Governor Dannel P. Malloy is directing the state’s Severe Cold Weather Protocol to be extended and remain in effect through Monday, February 16, as dangerously cold temperatures continue to impact the state.

The Severe Cold Weather Protocol activates a network of procedures among the relevant state agencies to ensure that the most vulnerable receive shelter from the cold.

Over the next ten nights, temperatures across the state are expected to continue near zero or sub-zero. If you know someone in need of shelter or are in need of it yourself, call 211 for a list of locations in Connecticut.

The governor announced on January 29 that the protocol would be in effect until at least February 8.
